Success Stories: Explore Our Multi-Family Housing ADA Compliant Signage Case Studies

Late in March of 2025, a national property developer called for a rush order of 234 black and gold ADA compliant signs needed for Certificate of Occupancy approval on an upscale mixed use multi-family housing complex.

The developer explained that their design department always uses its preferred signage supplier and just learned its manufacturer could not meet the shortened delivery schedule for the new installation deadline.

While the developer is very happy with the quality of the current vendor, the black and raised painted gold lettering needed for the COA would not be ready in time. So they commissioned our team to manufacture the signage and provided the design layouts needed.

We were delighted to learn that the developer was "very, very happy" with our high-quality signage, our service, and our delivery in 10 working days.

How We Help Property Developers

While property developer's traditional signage vendor mentioned in the case study provides design and manufacturing services, they do not have access to our team's proprietary SignAgent software. It was developed by a former Silicon Valley tech visionary, who decided to go from the digital world of things that you can only see on a computer to making 3 dimentional products that you can see and touch.

The Visionary's Design Package Deliverables

There are two phases to any Multi-family housing signage project. The Design, and the Execution.

Signs are not specified in your blueprints or the project manual. There are no designs, no take offs, no message schedules, no materials specifications, no colors, no fonts, no textures, no installation locations specified. There is nothing for any sign company to bid on. It is not possible to create a proposal until all of this work is done.  This is what we call “Set-Up for Success”.

We always start with the Initial Design Package

The Sign Design Package starts with meeting with you to understand your project, your image, your brand and property goals. From there we work on conceptual art created to give you the strongest representation of your property. If a logo has not yet been created, we will work with you to design a branding for your property that positions you correctly in the marketplace including analyzing your competition.

We do all the take-offs based on our comprehensive knowledge of building codes, ADA requirements, fire codes

Simultaneously, we will take your blueprints and import them into our state of the art SignAgent software, where we will do all of the take offs, message schedules and sign counts. Based on our knowledge of building code, ADA code and fire code we will ensure that your project signage is compliant so that there are no problems passing inspections. You will be able to look at door signs, amenity signs, wayfinding signs, monuments, and all other signs we feel are correct and needed for the project. SignAgent allows you to view and approve all of our work through a portal making the entire process totally transparent, and very easy for you with no errors associated with different versions of design. You can approve or request each sign from any remote location on you tablet.

After all signs have been approved by you, we then move forward to the final design step, creating production artwork files for every sign in the package. This will set you up to receive a total design package with credible investment estimates for your signage.
